Ice Skating Adventure

Our church had an ice skating party that was so much fun. We took Genevieve out and skated around with her. She loved it. She looked around at all of the people zooming by and liked the feel of the cool wind in her hair as we raced around the rink. We weren't allowed to take our stroller out so we held her while we skated. We were very safe with her, although we did have one little fall, but my butt cushioned the fall, Genevieve got no where near hitting the ice and all in all everyone was okay. Here are a few pictures from our exciting night.

Little Miss Genevieve is all bundled up in her snowsuit and ready for a night on the ice.

Baby Food

So after Genevieve enjoyed her brownie so much, we decided that maybe it would be better to feed her baby food rather than sweets like brownies. We gave her a few bite of banana baby food to start with (I know most people start with rice cereal, but we wanted to start with bananas, which is also an acceptable first food for baby). She doesn't seem to know what to think about it. I definitely doesn't taste like the brownie she had earlier this week. Enjoy this video and these pics.

The first bite. Everything seems okay so far...

"I'm not so sure what to think about this"

*bitter beer face*

"Please Mommy, don't make me eat it again!"

This one pretty much speaks for itself.
This video shows just how much she liked it. By the way, she did keep opening her mouth and leaning forward like she wanted more. I was not forcing her to eat it, she wanted to.

Yummmmm

Kyle and I have decided that Genevieve is ready for solid foods since everytime we eat she grabs food off of our plates and tries to put it in her mouth. She has flipped over a cereal bowl, had a handful of spaghetti, and grabbed several forks. Her first solid food was a brownie and she LOVED it! This is a video of her first taste of a brownie. It is hard to tell in the video, but I was not putting it in her mouth, she was pulling my hand and making me put it in her mouth. I hope you enjoy this video as much as she enjoyed the treat.
